I see that I haven't posted in almost a month. Well, life happens, and xanga isn't exactly a priority.
At the moment I'm getting over being sick, the house is empty save for Ben and myself, my semester is done, and I don't have to be at work till 3pm. Sounds like a good time for an update.
Work at the moment is really demanding. You'd think Hallmark would be a lovely little place to work, but during the holidays it's insane. Five days a week I'm running from the time I get there till at least 10 minutes after closing. But I can't complain. I love the girls I work with, and my boss is amazing. Besides, I need the  hours so I can pay for school this spring.
Speaking of school, I'll be attempting to make myself a little niche at PHC for a semester. I don't like the thought of being that far away from home for that long (I know, I sound like a daddy's girl, and I won't deny that I am), but God's hand is in this so I won't fight.
On November 5th my Grandpa suffered a major stroke and requires complete care. It's such a blessing to live only a little way up the road from them. We can just run to their house through the fields. The amount of time we have to spend at their house might seem like a burden to most, and at times it's difficult, but I'm so glad we're doing it. It's been amazing to see my younger siblings really step up. I know I've had to grow up a little more. One thing I love is praying with Grandpa after putting him to bed. He can't really speak, but I know he loves it. Then I get my goodnight kiss and everything is so worth it.

I just wanted to say that your ministry to your grandfather is wonderful, Betsy.  I'm glad that you can see God's hand in all these things, and may He continue to guide you and uphold you during the spring semester!

That's neat that you and your siblings can be around to help with your grandfather...and that there are a lot of you so nobody has to be there 24/7!
